Haruki!

Okay.. i know sushi isn't everyone's favorite.. but it's mine! and it's something i eat probably 3-4 times a week, whether for lunch or dinner. i'd even eat it for breakfast if there was a place open.. so, one of my biggest bummers has been that i can't order rolls anymore. technically, i can.. of course. but i hate having to explain why i've picked out the center and not eaten the rice. well !!! i went to Haruki last night. I've been to Haruki hundreds of times.. so I don't know why I never saw these on the menu... but they're called Naruto - and they're basically sushi rolls, but instead of being rolled in rice- they are rolled in very, very thin slices of cucumbers! hello!!!! perfect for bypassers!!! I got yellowtail, and it comes rolled with flying fish roe, avocado on the inside, and obviously the cucumber on the outside. It's not a huge serving of protein, so I got an order of sashimi, as well. i couldn't eat all of the Naruto, but I think I ate 4 out of the 6 pieces. you can also get it with crabstick, which would be really tasty, if you aren't big on the raw stuff. anyway - just thought i'd pass it on in case anyone out there really likes the sushi and wants to have their roll and eat it, too. kristen*
